About Bristol Head Campground

This campground contains 15 sites (11 are pull through) ranging from 35 to 55 feet in length.  There are both dead end spurs and pull throughs.  Sits in a meadow on a bench above  South Clear Creek. A short trail from campground leads to an overlook of the Clear Creek Canyons and a waterfall. The campground stretches 0.6 mile along a "bench" (a level area) above South Clear Creek. The grassy field between camping sites and creek are dotted with wild flowers. Every site has a view of towering mountains dominated by Bristol Head Peak. Spruce and Aspen line the meadow and provide some shade. The campground is an excellent area for viewing wild life, especially moose. Quiet & secluded. Fishing in the creek nearby.  14 DAY CAMPING LIMIT.
